  • In this video I show you how I painted a realistic ocean wave. I get so many questions asking how I paint realistic water so here is an example of one of the ways I approach it. Painting water with oils is different with every single painting, but I hope this demonstration can give you an idea of how to use oil paints! This is just one way of doing it, oil painting is vast world filled with endless possibilities, so don't be afraid to experiment!
    Here are some links that were mentioned in this video:

    I am an artist residing in sunny, warm [humid] florida! My paintings are heavily inspired by nature and its beauty. I work primarily in oil paint, and sometimes watercolor. I prefer to work in a mostly realistic style and occasionally experiment outside of that. I post oil painting time lapses, painting lessons and tutorials, drawings, art tips, and occasionally artist vlogs where I share bits of my life as an artist. Creating art is my greatest passion and I'm thankful for the chance to share it with you. ♥

Equally so, I love your attitude toward painting, and the way you give ‘permission’ around the vast range of styles and ways to paint, and ways to *enjoy* painting. This is rare among accomplished artists, it seems, and I feel you offer up such a wonderful philosophy and tone. Thank you! :)

    @CautionArtistatPlay Před 4 lety +7

    I just finished an oil painting and this video is so relatable! Everything you have said about how long it takes, the back and forth, the having to walk away sometimes and come back, figuring it out as you go, and about agonizing about perfecting the final details is completely spot on for me. I go through all the same things and just went through it with my most recent painting. This video is a reminder that it is normal to go through these things while working through a painting, it is all part of the process, and that each piece is different. Beautiful piece and a wonderful video!

  • @johnbarnett513

    Wow, that is absolutely amazing to watch. I've only done 5 oil paintings in my life, Bob Ross style. I haven't painted for 4 months or so. Using a reference sounds like a great idea but knowing your colors and how to manipulate shadow seems to be the key to a good oil painting from what I just saw from your painting. Correct me if I'm wrong. Again awesome job and thank you for the great video...

    Fabulous demo and an awesome painting - love it - I will have to look at more of your videos on oil painting - I just can't seem to enjoy oil painting, your paint looks to flow so well onto the canvas, not dry or sticky. I will have to watch more of your videos to find out how you achieve this. I am okay painting on the first sitting but if I come back in a day or so it tacks up and then I have to wait forever to paint over it

  • @Paul-su3qh
    @Paul-su3qh Před 2 lety

    Lena, thank you for a really good tutorial. I also paint in oils and often have these same issue s you mention throughout. It takes me on average about three weeks to complete a painting although that is dependent on the subject matter and whether the composition is simple or more involved. One thing that I tend to worry about in the art world and that is the danger of becoming a clone adopting someone else's style and subjects. That said though, everyone has to start somewhere in order to learn or perfect there art, which is why it is wonderful that there are genuine artists like yourself out there on the worldwide Web teaching all the basics and the pitfalls of being an artist or just simply making art for the love of it. Thank you Lena. I look forward to more of the same from you x

    I love your methode of working it is not because you put the color down that you need to stand by it you can always rework it to make it perfect. I love that idea most of the time i restrict myself to what is their and i am not always happy with it but i can keep mixing the paint even if it is on the canvas.

    One time a guy commented innocently enough "so you just draw it on and fill in the spaces right?" Well there wasn't time to explain that the process is a lot more difficult than he imagined. "

We have cats and they have to sit right in the middle of the table where I am painting. So in order to not poison them I have not been using my Oil paints. Not until I get a screened porch door on that studio will I be able to oil paint. Love Terri Simmers. P.S. Keep Oil Painting.
